  • Perforated democracy : disintegration, state-building, europeanisation and the erased of Slovenia
    Mandelc, Damjan ; Učakar, Tjaša
    This article explores the process of disintegration of Yugoslavia, the state-building process in Slovenia and the context of the specific phenomenon - the erasure that took place in Slovenia in the ... early 1990s. It reconstructs the socio-historic and political contexts in which the independence of Slovenia occurred. While describing the state-building process, the process of democratisation and the dilemmas about minority protection in Slovenia - including the distinction between the recognised "autochthonous" minorities and the non-recognised "new" minorities - it paves the ground for theoretical and sociological discussion of the "erased". The theoretical discussion is based on the questions of human rights, nationalism and citizenship, both in its classic (nation-state) conception and its alternative forms such as global citizenship. Sociologically, it places the "erasure" into a broader frame of investigating the processes of democratisation and Europeanisation, thus highlighting the key factors that caused the perforation of Slovene democracy in its twenty years of independence.
